Request
A request for 1) a four foot variance from the four foot maximum predominately open fence height limit, as described in Section 35-514, to allow a wrought iron fence up to eight feet tall in the front yard of the property and 2) a four foot variance from the five foot side setback requirement, as described in Section 35-310.01, to allow an attached carport to remain one foot from the side property line and 3) a one foot variance from the three foot setback, as described in Section 35-370, to allow an accessory structure to be located two feet from the side property line.
Executive Summary
The subject property is located at 1118 King Avenue, approximately 300 feet east of Quintana Road. The applicant was cited by Code Enforcement for construction of an eight foot tall wrought iron fence in the front yard of the property. Code Enforcement also issued a stop work order on an accessory structure in the rear yard of the property for building without required permits and for being in violation of the side setback. During field visits, staff noted that a large, attached carport was constructed one foot from the property line without permits, too. As such, the applicant is seeking a total of three variances to allow for the fence and structures completed without building permits to remain.
